hahahahaha not bad for 65 !! just kidding no that is my eldest son 9 years old, i started early saying i am only 29 myself brought my old man around who was strangly teary when he saw the carrier became very nostalgic but his words were true

"this machine was in service the same time as your grandad / my dad, was in service driving the same type of machine" wonder where he would have been when this one was born in 1942 (still training in Inneskillen i reckon)

I sprayed some ptfe between the links and but a shaped bar on the floor, i then used the hammer to pursuade the more stubbord links to move which worked.

i have heard AT fluid is great for eating rust, i was going to make a bath of the stuff to sit the sections of track into. looking at some of the pins the track may well need re pinned dont know, but that stage is a while away yet anyway.

will attach a few more pics to this post when i upload them.





first time the carrier has touched UK soil is my garage floor, used the tilt and slide straight in....


This is my mothers garage which she does not use, and it still has my block and tackle etc etc from my rally x days. my garage is now a machine shop for working on the components / engine etc etc
